Syria’s top diplomat said on Wednesday that the lifting of economic sanctions imposed during the rule of ousted President Bashar al-Assad was “crucial” for stability in the country. Syria’s new government is lobbying Western powers to lift sanctions that were aimed at Assad’s government over its brutal crackdown on anti-government protests in 2011, which sparked the country’s civil war. Nearly 14 years of conflict have destroyed Syria’s infrastructure and economy.
